Eat like a New Jersey politician this Election Day.
Big Bird and Cookie Monster campaigning in Freehold yesterday.
Whether or not you support a Muppet for the governorship, a check fraud mastermind for assemblyman or an unpatriotic real estate fraud to take his place on the Bayonne city council, remember to vote today! And if you want to eat like a large living politico, toss your weight around one of these most local eateries.
Sen. Menendez regularly fetches his own coffee from the Newport Starbucks while his driver waits outside. Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie kicked off his campaign over hot dogs at Journal Square’s Boulevard Drinks while Governor Corzine likes to celebrate elections at Brownstone Diner. But when not reaching out to the electorate he frequents Jersey City’s Edward’s Steakhouse and Hoboken’s Anthony David’s. Meanwhile, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer and candidate Beth Mason have both hosted fundraisers at Elysian Cafe on 10th and Washington in recent weeks.
More notoriously, Assemblyman Anthony Chiappone was present for Ron Manzo’s $10000 bribe in the parking lot of Bayonne’s Lighthouse Restaurant at 699 Broadway and Bayonne Councilman-at-Large candidate John Cupo promised free Biggie’s Clams for all before canceling his Hoboken block party last year. No word on who’s catering his victory party tonight.
